Pass a law demanding we submit to universal background checks? We will flout it.

Pass a law demanding that we turn in our standard-capacity magazines? Make us obey.

Pass a law insisting that we register whatever you consider the politically unpopular weapon of the moment? Come and find them.

Pass a law attempting to make the Second Amendment more conditional
than it already is? We’ll laugh. Because we don’t get our freedom from
any piece of paper and we won’t surrender any more of our freedom for some piece of paper, either.

Ban this or that type of ammo? More will slip through porous borders.
More will be made in secret places. Ammo isn’t complicated.

Ban homemade guns or the increasingly marvellous tools to produce
them? Oh my, you dream, you dream, you dream, you pathetic control
freaks in legislatures and police departments everywhere. That genie is long out of its bottle.

Pass laws that punish us for the deeds of creeps like South
Carolina’s church shooter or the nutcase of Aurora? The merely confirms
what we already know: that you “controllers” consider us your enemy even
when we are not — which ends up making us your enemy in fact.

In the aftermath of the race-motivated Charleston church shooting
spree that left nine dead, a number of Republicans have allowed
themselves to be placed on the defensive, even when they have no personal baggage related to the Confederate flag.

In Massachusetts, for instance, Republican Governor Charlie Baker has come under heavy fire from the Boston Globe
after saying the issue was one for the people of South Carolina to
decide on their own. Baker never said he supported the flag itself, but
that was overlooked as the paper made its partisan attacks.

Walmart,
the country's largest retailer, will remove all Confederate flag
merchandise from its stores, the company told CNN Monday.

The
announcement is the latest indication that the flag, a symbol of the
slave-holding South, has become toxic in the aftermath of a shooting
last week at a historic African-American church in Charleston, South
Carolina. Gov. Nikki Haley announced in a Monday afternoon news
conference that she supports removing the Confederate flag from the state capitol grounds.

flag's design, such as T-shirts and belt buckles.

Jack Hunter prostrates himself before the gods of political correctness once again. This time at the Daily Beast. Why there and not at his own Rare? So all the right people will see it and know just how sorry he is for all his past transgressions against rightthink?

After Jack’s first mea culpa, I wrote a long and measured article in
rebuttal, but it was lost at the old site. I just don’t have the energy
to do it again. I will say that this article is so craven that it makes
me wonder if Jack has gotten wind of a new attack, or he just fears one
in the hysteria following the Charleston shooting, especially since he
was based out of Charleston.

Blazing with the fire of combat, Jackson rode onto the *coaling. He
congratulated Taylor and promised him the captured guns. The enemy
staggered, but it didn't break. They preserved formation even as they
left the field along the road to Conrad's store - pressured all the
while by Taliaferro and Winder. Tired after the last few days, the
Southerners were not able to pursue rapidly - the infantry pounded out
four or five miles and the artillery pushed a few miles farther. The
spoils included about 450 prisoners, 800 muskets, one more cannon and
some wagons.

"Ever laconic, Jackson dispatched a one-sentence telegram
to Richmond advising, 'Through God's blessing the enemy near Port
Republic was this day routed with the loss of Six (6) pieces of his
artillery.'...Long after the war Richard Taylor recalled, "I have never
seen so many dead and wounded in the same limited space. ** In the
painting, The Grim Harvest of War, the artist chose to show Major Wheat
in uniform, but not "bloody as a butcher". Southern casualties: 816
killed and wounded Union losses including prisoners: 800-1000 Area of

*The name Coaling originated because the Lewis family made charcoal there for their blacksmith shop.

In the wake of the Charleston shootings, renewed calls from cultural Marxists have come calling for the removal of the Confederate flag
from the South Carolina statehouse and it seems that spineless
Republicans are incapable of making a stand, including Governor Nikki
Haley.
Fox reports:

In a break from her own position, South Carolina Gov.
Nikki Haley on Monday called for the removal of the Confederate flag
from statehouse grounds.

"The time has come," she said to applause.

Haley joined other state leaders, including Republican state Sen.
Tim Scott and U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham, in calling for the removal of
the flag.

"Today we are here at a moment of unity in our state, with no ill
will, to say it is time to move the flag from the capitol grounds,"
Haley said.

It's true, Haley cannot be trusted, but then I said that back when she was elected and turned right around and endorsed liberal Mitt Romney for president.

The Alabama congressman accused those suggesting that the shooting
might not have occurred if the Confederate flag wasn't flying over the
state capitol campus of having a political agenda that distracted from
the tragedy.

The shooting was allegedly conducted at the hands of Dylan Roof, a
white 21-year-old South Carolina resident whose purported website
contained a number of racist statements. He also allegedly told police
that he gunned down the nine victims because he wanted to spark a race
war.

South Carolina's governor and both U.S. senators, all Republicans,
called for the flag to be taken down from a Civil War memorial on the
state capitol campus. Palmer said the pressure to take the flag down is
coming from people using the shooting to advance their political agenda.
Palmer was speaking about the suggestion that the mass shooting may
have been prevented if the Confederate flag wasn't flying at the South
Carolina capitol campus.

"It's people who have an agenda seeking to exploit a tragedy," the freshman congressman told the Matt Murphy Show on
Monday morning. "That, to me, that's beyond contempt that here you have
this church that's suffered an unspeakable tragedy by a person who has
hate to a degree that he's insane and then they try to exploit this
tragedy for their own agendas."

South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley called for the removal of the
Confederate flag from the grounds of the state Capitol Monday, less than
a week after a 21-year-old white man gunned down nine people at a
historic African American church.

Support for the flag to come down from leaders
around the state and around the country has been steadily growing in the
wake of the devastating attack.

"Today, we are here in a moment of unity in our
state, without ill will, to say it is time to move the flag from the
Capitol grounds," Haley said during a news conference attended by
Republican senators Lindsey Graham and Tim Scott, along with other state
leaders.

For years, my affiliation with the League has
intermittently come up at my job. I have told them if ever it came to
it, I would choose the League over my job.

The previous police chiefs
were supportive. This one was not. And the new city manager became
openly hostile upon his “discovery” this week.

Friday afternoon the carrot was dangled by internal affairs. Would I
be willing to “flush” the League entirely in order to save my job? The
answer was a swift no. Three hours later,
my termination was announced. Nineteen years, my salary, my benefits,
and my retirement are gone. I’m not looking for sympathy, but I do ask
for support.

And I’ve gotten it. I am humbled and grateful for the
promises of support, including financial, I have received. I think I
have a good case, and I am planning to take this to court. If anyone
wishes to donate to the legal defense, the Pay Pal email is
grace4doggrell@aol.com.

God is still on His throne. His will I accept. Pray His hand guides
me and protects my family. In tough times, you find out who your friends
are. I am proud to be a Southern nationalist and a member of the League
of the South.

Sounds like something most of us have heard before, many times before.
The politically correct (cultural Marxists) want the Confederate battle
flag at the State House in South Carolina taken down. Supposedly it was
not flown at half staff when all other flags were to commemorate the
shooting at the black church in Charleston and for that reason it
deserves to be taken down.

But like the good Marxist they are, the people manipulating this
situation are trying to kill two birds with one stone--a typical Marxist
ploy--if you can push one agenda that hits two critical areas then
you've made your day.

For
more than five years, American intelligence agencies followed several
groups of Chinese hackers who were systematically draining information
from defense contractors, energy firms and electronics makers, their
targets shifting to fit Beijing’s latest economic priorities.

But
last summer, officials lost the trail as some of the hackers changed
focus again, burrowing deep into United States government computer
systems that contain vast troves of personnel data, according to
American officials briefed on a federal investigation into the attack
and private security experts.

Undetected
for nearly a year, the Chinese intruders executed a sophisticated
attack that gave them “administrator privileges” into the computer
networks at the Office of Personnel Management, mimicking the
credentials of people who run the agency’s systems, two senior
administration officials said. The hackers began siphoning out a rush of
data after constructing what amounted to an electronic pipeline that
led back to China, investigators told Congress last week in classified briefings.

A church in Charleston, South Carolina, is awash in blood today.
Black or white is irrelevant, only the innocence of the slain is what
matters. (We no longer need be racial tribalists in this country.) The
typical talking heads and government elites have
already ramped up their knee-jerk, siren song for gun control. I
disagree with this call more strongly than I ever have because I believe
gun control, and gun-free zones, are root causes of violent crime.

I claim that those nine lives — nine trusting, innocent, gullible, lives
— were violently snuffed out because they had been brainwashed. They
had been brainwashed by the left into forgetting, or ignoring, that evil
exists in this world (e.g., criminals, mental defectives, drug addicts
and jihadists). These innocent victims had been brainwashed into the
false religion of 911: Call 911 and your modern day savior, the
police, the government, a uniformed somebody, will come and protect you,
save you and risk their lives to safeguard innocent life.

I bet that anyone of those nine victims wish they had a gun when
21-year-old Dylann Roof began opening fire in that church.

Question: when there is a horrific traffic accident, do newspapers stop running automobile ads on their pages?

Nope. They do not.

So, why then would they be expected to remove a gun ad in the wake of a mass shooting?

Yet, for whatever reason, they are. Why? Because there is a double standard.

Think about it, when drunk drivers take an innocent life while behind
the wheel, the ire of the public is directed at the drunk driver. But
when an alleged racist, sociopath uses a firearm to kill nine people in a
church in Charleston, South Carolina, the ire of the public is directed
at the gun and not the gunman.

Why can the public differentiate between the inanimate object and the
driver when it comes to car accidents but can’t do the same for the
inanimate object and the person who pulls the trigger in shootings?

The reason? Anti-gunners have convinced many unbiased individuals
that guns are evil.

Consider the following tweet from Jonathan Neufeld, a
philosophy professor at the College of Charleston in Charleston, S.C.

"the integrity of any culture comes from common beliefs and behaviors.
while we are all somewhat different and unique, we can still belong in a
common culture. once you adopt behaviors and beliefs substantially
different from those commonly held by your culture, you are deviating
from those cultural values. it doesn't make you diverse. diverse would
be following different paths to arrive at the same point of common
values. the argument of diversity is a lame attempt to make deviancy
acceptable within the culture and thereby redefine everyone else's
values to encompass the deviant values. this is not the same as adding a
few blueberries to your pancake batter to make it better, it is
dropping a few bad apples into the barrel to accelerate the rot of them
all. this is the same thing that has destroyed the faith-based boy
scouts. you don't get to the point of 100 years of traditions if you
abandon those values and redefine them every few years on somebody's
whim or you'll undermine the whole thing and prove you do not have any
values. and why would anyone want to celebrate that?"

In fact, beyond Roof’s car having a novelty Confederate license
plate, there is nothing to suggest that the Battle Flag had much to do
with his views. Even if the flag meant “hate” rather than “heritage” to
him, nothing suggests that the flag made him hate blacks, much less kill
them. His alleged manifesto does not mention Southern nationalism at all, but it is very explicit about black crime and Main Stream Media manipulation of the Trayvon Martin case, both occurring long after Appomattox.

Remembrance

To die for one’s country is not only an act of bravery, it is THE act of bravery. For soldiers, it is just an extension of their military career, a part of their duty. As leaders have asked their soldiers to sacrifice themselves for the good of the society, it is only right for leaders to go through the same motion. They should practice what they have preached.

As war is seen as a noble act, tu sat serves as redemption in case of defeat. It is also a way to tell the enemy: “You might have won the battle/war but you don’t deserve to win because you don’t have the chinh nghia (just cause).” And it is not only just cause: it is the moral belief that the cause they are fighting for deserves their total sacrifice.

==============================My third great grandfather was an Ensign in the Revolutionary War, and saved his unit's flag after being wounded at the Battle of Brandywine. He was also at Kingston (Kinston), Wilmington, Charleston, Two Sisters and Augusta. He was at the defeat at Brier Creek and also Bee Creek.

==============================
My second great grandfather was killed in action on May 3, 1863 at the Battle of Chancellorsville.
=============================
My great grandfather and great uncle knew all the men in the "Civil War Requiem" video as they were part of the 53rd NC which was the sole unit defending Fort Mahone. (Fort Mahone was named "Fort Damnation" by the Yankees) *Handpicked men of the 53rd (My great grandfather was one of these) made the final, night assault at Petersburg in an attempt to break Grant's line. This was against Fort Stedman which was a few miles to the slight northeast. They initially succeeded, but reinforcements drove them back. This video is made from photographs which were taken the day after the 53rd evacuated the lines the night before to begin the retreat to Appomattox. I have many more pictures taken by the same photographer, one of these shows a 14 year old boy and the other is the famous picture of the blond, handsome soldier with his musket.
===========================
*General Gordon promised the men a gold medal and 30 days leave if they accomplished their task and many years after the War my great grandfather wrote General Gordon, who was then governor of Georgia about this incident. They exchanged several letters which I have framed. See first link below.
